Shugo Chara! is one of the
best animes I've ever watched, and it's also one of the best mangas I've ever read. I give it an 8/10 (It could score a 10, but you'll figure out why it doesn't later...), which is pretty good for my very constructive criticism! The characters are super cute, and it's so dramatic and a great mix of romance, fantasy, and comedy that it kept my eyes glued to my computer screen the whole time!
Now, I dislike "comedic romance" because I'm more of a passionate person and believe that love should be as such. (Plus, I'm more of a "dramatic/passionate romance" person.) But, I mean, come on! Ikuto and Amu are the cutest comedic/romantic couple ever! ^_^
Basically, this anime/manga is about a girl named Amu Hinamori who wishes to expose her true personality and gets three eggs that hatch into Guardian Characters. She then becomes part of her school's Guardian Council to rid the town of evil X Eggs and Characters that the Easter Co. is using to gain power. But what for? And is the mysterious Ikuto all that he seems? You'll just have to find out (;
Sadly, though, Amu is, putting it lightly, quite ignorant. She has no idea what's going on when Ikuto decides to go all "sexy bad-boy" on her and flirt with her! She's all like "Whaaat? What was
that, you pervert!" the
whole time; it's one of the only two things I don't like about Shugo Chara. (I mean, if it were me, I would have been all over him!)
The second thing I don't like is the extremely disappointing ending! SPOILER ALERT!!!
Alright, well, here's the spoiler; you can't turn back now!! In the end, it's like Ikuto wimps out on Amu right after she
finally decides to get over stupid (yet cute- I'll admit that much) "Prince/King" Tadase and flirt back for once! But, oh, no, he has to be all "When you're eighteen, I'll come back for you after I'm done ditching you to find my presumably dead father and play the violin with him."Yeah, yeah, it sounds kind of dreamy, but that sad thing is you never get to see any
real romance until the very end, and the makers don't even add another manga
or anime even
based on/hinting/showing what happens in the end when he
does come back (
if he even comes back in the first place!)! Even Inuyasha accomplished that; why can't they?? :'(
But, all in all, this obviously made me wanting more, so the writers at least accomplished something... And so, I do recommend Shugo Chara! for most girls (especially if you like cute mangas/animes), though maybe not guys unless you're completely bored (which probably won't happen thanks to Black Ops) and/or you have no life... or maybe you just abnormally like cute things....
Just for kicks, here's some other cute pics from Shugo Chara:
All the main characters- how cute! ^_^
Ikuto's just sexy in this one (:
Nice move, Ikuto ;)
Aw! All the main characters and charas as dolls! ^w^
S.E.X.Y.
Ahaha, anyways, please leave all comments below! (:
W. O. W. I've just found this anime called Special A (I haven't read the manga yet...), and it is amazing! I've only watched the first episode, and it's just awesome! It's about this smart and athletic girl named Hikari Hanazono who is always second place compared to this super hot, smart, calm-and-collected guy named Kei Takishima. She challenges him a lot, always trying to beat him in something. Takishima thinks (and expresses in the first episode) that Hikari is an excellent person who always fights fair and at her best ability (though he does make her mad by calling her "Miss Rank Two"). Both Hikari and Takishima are in the "Special A" class, where only the top seven students in the school can join, and battle out in challenges. It's super cute, with only some clichés, and romantic. Also, unlike most, the anime's comedy doesn't ruin the romantic mood or overshadow the romance, but brings the romance to an even higher peak between the two top students.
